| Abstract | This article examines how African literature in Spanish reimagines space, identity, and belonging through affective, linguistic, and embodied strategies that challenge colonial legacies. Focusing on Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel’s The Gurugu Pledge, Ángela Nzambi’s Circle of Women: Stories for Transformation, and Mohamed El Morabet’s An Abandoned Plot, it explores how affect, memory, and storytelling transform migration and diaspora into sites of solidarity and resistance. Drawing on affect theory (Ahmed, Deleuze) and decolonial thought (Grosfoguel, Phipps), it argues these texts construct affective cartographies that unsettle hegemonic narratives in multilingual contexts. Ultimately, literature emerges as a political, multisensorial, and pedagogical intervention. |
